There's really no reason at all for
Chapter 71 from a storytelling perspective. One of my faithful commenters said that Evelyn should read
Varney the Vampire next, so I decided to integrate its unnaturally wordy writing style into Ev's canonical attack of tonsillitis.
As usual, frequent updates should be taken as a symptom of fast-approaching RL deadlines and my chronic inability to take seriously my alleged vocation.
